HRD Corp Implements All Governance Improvements, MACC Ends Monitoring

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 27 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has officially ended its governance monitoring of Human Resource Development Corporation (HRD Corp) after the agency implemented all the mutually agreed improvement recommendations.

HRD Corp, the leading agency for human capital development in Malaysia under the Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA) in a statement said the "completed" status was given through an official letter received from MACC yesterday (Oct 26).

Meanwhile, HRD Corp chairman Datuk Rusli Jaafar said this significant achievement reflects the unwavering support from Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri R. Ramanan and the commitment of the agency's leadership, as well as the cooperation and support of the MACC throughout the process

“This achievement proves the dedication, professionalism, and hard work of the entire HRM Corp staff. Since Datuk Shamir (HRD Corp chief executive Datuk Mohamed Shamir Abdul Aziz) assumed the helm of the organisation, HRD Corp has continued to strengthen its existing foundation, with a clear focus on the agenda and responsibilities that lie ahead,” he said

Through strong leadership and a committed team, Rusli said HRD Corp will continue to maintain the highest levels of integrity, accountability, and governance in its efforts to drive Malaysia's human capital development forward.

Managed under the Human Resource Development Fund Act 2001 (HRDF Act 2001), HRD Corp is responsible for the collection and administration of the human resource development levy through the Human Resource Development Fund (HRDF).

The responsibility includes efforts to promote training, retraining, and skill enhancement for workers, apprentices, and trainees to align their capabilities with employer needs and the national aspiration to develop a highly skilled workforce.
